Central to the hustle and bustle of downtown, El Palace Barcelona is located steps away from the exclusive Paseo de Gracia, the mythic Las Ramblas and the historical Gothic District, yet inside the hotel is a quiet haven of blissful elegance. Boasting one of the largest rooftop terrace in the city with a 360º view, indulging in a princely drink as the sun dips behind far-off cupolas, is a must. Feel the pulls of the history from 1919 when you are back in you spacious and neo-classical room, the huge marble bathroom in muted tones surprises as well as the original fire place, all combined with the state-of-the arts facilities.

A stunning, bright and beautiful hotel. Our room was gorgeous with a huge elegant bathroom. Bed was so comfortable. Had delicious cakes in the lobby bar. Wish we could have stayed longer. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly.

Simply The Best Hotel in Barcelona - we’ve visited Barcelona on several occasions but this was our first time at El Palace (formerly the Ritz) - it’s lost none of it grandeur and boasts some wonderful period rooms such as the grand hall , the breakfast garden, the rooftop restaurant etc. The rooms are spacious, with excellent bathrooms but what really makes this place special also is its staff as nothing is too much. A special thanks to Ana at front desk for her assistance upon check out. On a separate point the location is also perfect for walks, shopping and main visit sites. A must stay place when visiting.

I really enjoyed the time I spent in "Hotel El Palace Barcelona" and I wish I had more time to spend there. The hotel is very nice and the staff is great! The hotel room I stayed in is large even the bathroom! If I ever vacation back to Barcelona again, I definitely will consider going back to this hotel again and spend more time there than I was able to this time. The rooms are very clean. The noise level is low. The location is great! I love the red parts of the hotel from awnings to curtains.

Our stay at Hotel El Palace Barcelona was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after. The concierge team were incredibly helpful, recommending some fantastic local tapas restaurants that allowed us to experience the very best of Barcelona’s food scene. Breakfast each morning was a delight, with a wonderful selection of high-quality dishes served in beautiful surroundings. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the rooftop pool and terrace. We spent many relaxing afternoons there enjoying the sunshine, accompanied by first-class service from the attentive and professional staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The hotel combines timeless elegance with outstanding hospitality, making it one of the finest places we have ever stayed. We created some wonderful family memories during our visit and are already looking forward to returning as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone at Hotel El Palace Barcelona for making our stay so memorable.
